Killing me won't help, Kejriwal tells Khurshid

Hours after Arvind Kejriwal alleged that Law Minister Salman Khurshid had threatened to kill him, the IAC activist posted on a microblogging site that such language did not suit the minister and his death was in God's hands

Alleging that Law Minister Salman Khurshid had threatened him, India Against Corruption (IAC) leader Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday said his words did not behove the minister of a country.

In a tweet, Kejriwal posted that Khurshid had threatened to kill him and said it would be better that the Congress “sensed the anger of people and took some concrete steps against corruption”.

He also said that Khurshid should realise that his (Arvind’s) life is “not in the minister’s hands but in God’s”. The whole drama unfolded when Arvind Kejriwal said he will take his protest against Salman Khurshid to Farrukhabad, owing to which the Law Minister warned him from entering his constituency.

“Let him (Arvind Kejriwal) come to Farrukhabad. But how will he go back from here?” Khurshid said. The Law Minister threatened Kejriwal and said: “When I was made the Law Minister then, I was advised to use a pen. Now, it is time to replace the ink with blood.”

IAC seeks Prez’s intervention

IAC activist Kumar Vishwas has urged President Pranab Mukherjee to intervene into the matter. Vishwas said that it is unacceptable for a Law Minister to speak in such a manner, and sought his resignation. “The President and the PM should take note of this matter. The President should ask the PM to ensure that such a person does not continue as the law minister.”
